Abstract:
To assess the effectiveness of MRI in identifying the spectrum of corpus callosum anomalies in epileptic paediatric patients, a descriptive case series was studied in the General Paediatric Hospital, Baghdad from March 2017 to March 2020.A total of 52 patients with ages ranging from 4 months to 14 years were included. The Imaging criteria included MRI evaluation showing spectrum of anomalies involving the corpus callosum with malformation of cortical development, lipoma, Dandy Walker syndrome and Chiari malformation. Demographic data was recorded. The study included 52 patients with ages ranging from 4 months to 14 years, (mean age 5.94 ± 4.08 years). There were 31(59.7 %) males and 21(40.3%) females diagnosed as 34(65%) agenesis, 25(48%) partial agenesis, 9(17.3%) complete agenesis and 18(34.7%) hypoplasia of corpus callosum. Other malformations noted in 32 patients included, Chiari malformation, cortical neuromigration disorders, Dandy Walker malformation, lipoma, cerebellar hypoplasia, posterior fossa arachnoid cyst and Chiari 2 malformation. Imaging evaluation in epilepsies, effectively detects callosal disorders and associated malformations, which add valuable data improving clinical management, seizure control clinical management and further decision-making.
摘要:
评估MRI在识别癫痫儿科患者call体异常频谱中的有效性,在普通儿科医院研究了一个描述性病例系列,巴格达从2017年3月到2020年3月。共纳入52例患者,年龄从4个月到14岁不等。成像标准包括MRI评估,显示涉及call体的异常频谱,并伴有皮质发育畸形,脂肪瘤,DandyWalker综合征和Chiari畸形.记录人口统计数据。该研究包括52名年龄从4个月到14岁的患者,(平均年龄5.94±4.08岁)。诊断为34(65%)发育不全的男性31(59.7%)和女性21(40.3%),25(48%)部分发育不良,9例(17.3%)完全发育不全,18例(34.7%)call体发育不全。在32例患者中发现的其他畸形包括,Chiari畸形,皮质神经迁移障碍,DandyWalker畸形,脂肪瘤,小脑发育不全,后颅窝蛛网膜囊肿和Chiari2畸形。癫痫的影像学评估,有效检测call骨疾病和相关畸形,这增加了改善临床管理的宝贵数据,癫痫控制临床管理和进一步决策。
